Cross-app communication (Ethereum Serenity, NEAR, Polkadot, Cosmos)
Event Information
About this event
Note: This event starts immediately after the WASM chains event, in the same venue. You may register separately for that event.
DESCRIPTION
In the world of chain interoperability and sharded solutions, interaction of applications must be redesigned compared to single chain ecosystem. In this panel each project can discuss tradeoffs and benefits of app chain interaction that they are aiming for.
Moderated by James Prestwich.

Organizer of Cross-app communication (Ethereum Serenity, NEAR, Polkadot, Cosmos)
NEAR is a blockchain protocol designed to bridge the adoption gap for mainstream commercial DApps. Designed to linearly scale with number of nodes by sharding (100k tps at 1M nodes, ~1s finality), have wide adoption by running on mobile devices, and security guarantees on the level of best blockchains. To build it, we have assembled a dream team of engineers who implemented sharded distributed systems at scale including 3 early MemSQL engineers, 4 ex-Googlers, 4 gold medals at ACM ICPC and more.
